Mark 6:46

46 et cum dimisisset eos abiit in montem orare

Mark 6:46 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:46

And when he had sent them away
Either his disciples, or rather the multitude:

he departed into a mountain to pray:
after his disciples were gone, and he had dismissed the people, he went from the desert where he had been, up into a mountain; being a retired place, to spend some time in private prayer to God; (See Gill on Matthew 14:23).

Mark 6:46 In-Context

44 erant autem qui manducaverunt quinque milia virorum

45 et statim coegit discipulos suos ascendere navem ut praecederent eum trans fretum ad Bethsaidam dum ipse dimitteret populum

46 et cum dimisisset eos abiit in montem orare

47 et cum sero esset erat navis in medio mari et ipse solus in terra

48 et videns eos laborantes in remigando erat enim ventus contrarius eis et circa quartam vigiliam noctis venit ad eos ambulans super mare et volebat praeterire eos
